SOS for Supplicators
A young man who is quite dear to me, ever since his teen years, is in dire need of a liver transplant and another chance at a healthy and full life. Sober nearly two years, he is fighting for his health. His young bride-to-be and the rest of the family are praying fervently for him. Will you agree with us in interceding for Junior?
Re-liver Needed
A young lad
with lots of steam
became tangled
in proud traditions
and multi-generational webs,
allowing and enabling him
to land
between a rock and a hard place.
Now, mid-thirties,
he needs a liver.
He needs hope.
He needs another chance.
He needs the touch of the Lord.
(Who doesn’t?)
Praying for Junior.
